If I were Napoleon
You could be my Josephine
We could go to drive-in films
In my red convertible
If I were Napoleon
I might be in magazines
I'd write some science fiction
Science fiction about you
You could be my Josephine...
If I were Napoleon
You could be my lady love
Look into my soft blue eyes
Run your fingers through my hair
If I were Napoleon
You could be my turtle-dove
Living out in Corsica
In our summer cottages
You could be my Josephine...

I spend my evenings alone
Talking to your picture, babe
Love is wrapped around my heart
Like a boa constrictor, babe
My mother should have murdered me
What jury would convict her, babe?
For love is wrapped around my heart
Like a boa constrictor, babe
Love is wrapped around my heart
Love is wrapped around my heart
Love is wrapped around my heart like a boa constrictor, babe

Grand pianos crash together
When my boy walks down the street
There are whole new kinds of weather
When he walks with his new beat
Everyone sings hallelujah
When my boy walks down the street
Life just kind of dances through you
From your smile down to your feet
Amazing!
He's a whole new form of life
Blue eyes blazing
And he's going to be my wife
The world does the hula-hula
When my boy walks down the street
Everyone thinks he's Petula
So big and yet so petite
Butterflies turn into people
When my boy walks down the street
Maybe he should be illegal
He just makes life too complete
Amazing!
He's a whole new form of life
Blue eyes blazing
And he's going to be my wife
Oh, shadows of echoes of memories
Oh, things that he brings that he found in the sea
Oh, shadows of echoes of memories of songs
Oh, how could he know that it won't be long?

I want to be a playboy's bunny
I'd do whatever they asked me to
I'd meet people with lots of money
And men would love me like I loved you
I want to be a topless waitress
I want my mother to shed one tear
I'd throw away this old sedate dress
Slip into something a tad more sheer
I want to be an artist's model
An odalisque, au naturel
I should be good at spin-the-bottle
While I've still got something left to sell
I want to be a cobra dancer
With Little Willy between my thighs
I may not find a cure for cancer
But I'll meet plenty of single guys
I want to be a brothel worker
I've always been treated like one
If I could be a back-street lurker
I'd make more money and have more fun
I want to be a dominatrix
Which isn't like me, but I can dream
Learn S, and M, and all those gay tricks
And men will pay me to make them scream
I want to be a porno starlet
For that I'll wait till Mama's dead
I'd see my name in lights of scarlet
And get to spend every day in bed
I want to be a tattooed lady
Dedicated, as I am, to art
Characters bold, complex, and shady
Will write my memoirs across my heart

Are you out of love with me?
Are you longing to be free?
Do I drive you up a tree?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
Do I drive you up the wall?
Do you dread every phone call?
Can you not stand me at all?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
Though I need you more than air
is it true you just don't care?
Are you having an affair?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
When we met I thought
money was everything
so I let you buy the house,
the car, the ring
but I can't take your perpetual whining
and you can't sing
I though if we live apart
we could made a brand-new start
Do you want to break my heart?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
I've enjoyed making you
miserable for years
found peace of mind in
playing on your fears
How I loved to catch your gold
and silver tears, but now my dear
What a dark and dreary life
Are you reaching for a knife?
Could you really kill your wife?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
Of, I die, I die, I die!
So it's over, you and I
Was my whole life just a lie?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
